The journalists were on the stand yesterday. Their testimony was merely coroboratory of what had previously been given. The Canadian government has had two detectives in Chicago since IKK4 watch ingdynamiters In connection with the movements of the Kiel rebellion. Thou deteclives have been temporarily with drawl since the anarchist trial lest they should be summoned as wltnes-es and thus become known to the dynamiters. Col.

Texas fever has broken out among a lot of graded cattle brought from Kan sas City to Bozeman, Mon. Already 21 have died and many more deaths are ex pected. The herd has been quarantined. Stockmen fear the disease will spread,as a drove of 35,0(10 head, from which tills lot caught the fever at Missouri Valley, lowa, is now being driven into this ter ritory. Dispatches from El Paso show no change in the complexion of the Cutting affair. Mexico is on top. Bayard says Mexico will do what Is right in this Mexico-mixed Cutting case. United States is in no hurry about tlie date.when this right tiling will be done. Endicott says the government has no intention of fooling with troops near the Mexican border. There is no occasion. It is now said that Diaz promptly or dered Cutting's release at the request of the United States government, but that the Cbihuahiiu government stood upon its state rights' dignity and refused to surrender touting. Mexico has got state’s rights down to bedrock. The appropriation committee of the house does not concur, in I he majority of cases to the senate's amendments to the suiidrp civil appropriation bill.

Sallie Royal has developed into an au thoress and has issued a proclamation that furnishes some spicy reading for all except some of the individuals who iigure prominently In it. These she bandies without gloves, and she gives some remarkably hard blows. Evi dently Sallie is considerably a mark for all her opponents, and the Light pre dicts that she will yet get away with them badly. Trying to Work It. Sub-contractor Hunt took a force of thirty men and ten teams on Monday to work upon the Club and Opera house site, but when it was found that the contract was not signed and could not be signed until Contractor Hoffman re turned from St. Louis, he stopped work.

Henry Semlinger Card. .s*x Antonio, Tkx., July 26, 1886. Editor San Antonio LtoHT: Sin:—l cannot see where the right comes in nor where a detective can get the power to arrest a party for murder and robbery when he cannot furnish the slightest proof ttgai: st the arrested par ty, excepting the word of a panitentbry rat, who would swear to most anything to save his own skin, to get others into trouble. That penitentiary rat is Solo mon, a well known scamp in San Anto nio, who tried several times to escape from the stone quarry at Burnet and pursued and caught by blood hounds, brought back where be belonged to. Governor Ireland very wisely declined to pardon him. knowing that such a scamp is not a tit subject to give testi mony in a court of Justice, for he would swear to anything to secure his own liberty, and to get other men into trouble. Now 1 have this much to say that the authority wherever it comes from, to ar rest my son, taking him from his em ployment, bringing him to the count}' jail’ of Bexar county, keeping him in there for two weeks, to inlure his. and the name of a large family, and cannot bring tbj slightest proof against him, will hear some more about it In the near future. Henry Semlinger, Sr. They Were Coy. A very enjoyable party was given on Monday night by Jacobo and Audreae Coy. at the corner of North Concho and Chavez streets, in celebration of San tana's day, and a large number of our Mexican citizens were present.

The Bexar county democracy are there. The executive committee nllirm their lack of jurisdiction in the matter of calling another convention. The chairman of the executive committee seems indisposed to issue any certifi cates to delegates, and the democratic journals of the city insist that the action of the convention as to delegates must stand because their election was with out dissent. In the meantime, there is no dispute about the reversing of the will of the majority of the convention by the erroneous count of the clerks. The question now is will the majority abide by this error and accept its conse quences. It is fallacious to say that the delegates being elected without opposi tion their election must stand. It is equally misleading to say that the con vention having made G. W. Kuss' elec tion unanimous, that election must stand. Both of these results—the elec tion of chairman and his being de clared the unanimous choice of the con tion, and the selection Jof delegates to Galveston, etc., were based on a fraud, and a fraud of such a nature as to vitiate all that followed it because it substitu ted the will of the minority for the will of the majority. It was on the grouud of the righteousness of the count that the convention made the election of Mr. Russ' unanimous, and then ac cepted the nominations of delegates made by the chair. The whole work of that convention was done under the conviction that the will of the majority had been given expression to in the vote to table the minority report; also that the will of the majority had been followed in substituting the minor ity report for the majority report. This error In the count did not vitiate the will of the convention, to hold other wise is a doctrine too dangerous to be entertained. If the will of the conven tion as expressed by its majority vote is Its law, then Oscar Besgstrom was chairman. It was the intention of the convention t. make unanimous the choice of its majority, and that unani mous declaration meant Bergstrom. It was the intention of that convention to conlirm the appointment of delegates made by a committee selected by the chairman representing the majority of the convention, but this was not done. The convention was called for a pur pose—that purpose to determine the will of the majority of the democrats of Bexar county in convention assembled as to candidates. The election of the permanent chairman, bv whom all the committees were to be appointed,and the personel complexion of the delegates de termined, was the vital question to be decided. It was understood that which ever side won in the contest for chair manship was to be accorded the control of the convention, and the selection of the majority of the delegates. Instead of this being done the very opposite was done. By a strange error in figures the minority was substituted for the major ity throughout and the majority defraud ed of their right to control. The end caanot be yet. The country is safe. The assurance comes from the head of government at Washington that the Cutting matter is of little consequence. This, as is well known, is the attitude of the administra tion, but like most acts of that august body it does not harmonize with the general sentiment ef the country. The authorities at Washington have assur ances that Cutting will be released by the Mexican government. The world has had assurances, 10, these many years, of the coming of a judgment day, but so far it has not materialized. —Job printing in every variety at bottom prices done at the Light office. The. very Journal. In England that condemned Gladstone’* policy of home rule are the very first to denounce him for surrendering his portfolio before the assembling of parliament when he could have brought the matter to a test vote and placed the unionist and recalcitrant liberals on record and forced them into the ranks or compelled them to join the lories. Mr. Gladstone pay, little heed to the commendation of friends or the con demnation of enemies when Ills purposes have become fixed. He knows now just as well as he could know after parlia ment meets that his ideas of home rule stand uo chance of present acceptance. He therefore wisely concludes to let the other side tight it out until, weary with their futile efforts to restore peace to Ireland, the country will be ready to accept the measures he has proposed. The tories have expelled Gladstone from the premiership, but they have not got rid of him by a big majority. I i is prettj nearly a case of gone coon with the butter makers of the north when, in order to secure proscriptive legislation at Washington,they flood the south with circulars intended to Incite southern hostility to oleomargarine'on the ground that it is a "Yankee pro duct.” Too late in the day for this kind of log rolling. That wonderful revolution over the border which went up like a rocket has come down like a stick. There are not pieces enough to be found to sample tbe kind of a revolution it was supposed to lie. The two great leaders of the New York democracy have departed from the scene of their political struggles since the last marshaling of the clans for a slate campaign. Kelly died u few weeks aga. Thompson, the boss of tbe county democracy, lias just passed over the divide. The effect of these deaths upon the councils of "Tammany" and the county democracy remains to be seen. Thompson was the only man that ever succeeded in maintaining a well organ ized opposition to Boss Kelly within the ranks of the democracy of New York. He was the only real leader that the enemies of Tammunj' ever found to dis pute with that ancient guild, the su premacy of democratic authority in the Empire City. He wrested the state patronage from the hands of Tammany, and, sustained by Tilden and Manning and all the anti-Tammany democracy of New York, drove Kelly out of power from 187 H to 1885. With the death of these great leaders there will be very likely a new deal in New York politics, but what particular combinations will be made or policies develop themselves cannot now be seen. The death of Thompson relieves Tammnnv from the fear it lias justly entertained since Kel ly’s death. of the powerful and uncom promising leader of the county democ racy. A vacant cadetship at West Point Is ebe filled. The Seventh Texas dis trist will furnish the candidate, and a competitive examination will be held nt Galveston on August 18. There are symptoms of another veto in the air. This time it is that unctuous act known ns the oleomargarine bill that is threatened. The president evidently doubts the-constitutionality of the meas ure. The people generally do not doubt the injustice of it, and its veto would not be regarded as an act of offensive partisanship and is certainly not open to the objections that Grover’s other vetoes have been. This is an oily subject and the president can slip through without friction and at the same time indulge his propensities. The Year’s Collections. Hon. Jos. 8. Miller, commissioner of internal revenue, has made a prelimin ary report of tbe operations of internal revenue service during the fiscal year ended June 30,1886, of which the follow ing is an abstract: "Total collections for the year were f1H>,902,845; total collec tions for previous fiscal year, $112,521.- 121, showing an increase of $4,481,724. The increase was made up as follows; $1,581,055 on spirits, $1,500,274 on tobac co, $1,445,949 on fermented liquors. The amount Is reduced by a decrease of $25.- 000 on banks and bankers anti a decrease of $20,551 in miscellaneous receipts. There was an increase ol 252,212,112 in the number of cigarettes, an increase of 151,923,865 in the numberof cigars, an in crease of 11.010,574 in I lie number of pounds of tobacco, an increase of 606,108 in the number of gallons of spirits dis tilled from grain and other material, and an increase of 1,521,980 in the num ber of barrels of fermented liquors as compared with the previous fiscal year. Tbe states in which tbe greatest collec tions were made are, respectively: Illinois. $23,852,253; Kentucky, $15,- 74(1,940; New York, $14,365,209; Ohio. $12,921,349; Pennsylvania, $7,887,231, and Missouri, $7,060,649. The smallest collections: Vermont, $33,503 and Mis sissippi, $47,072. In concluding his re port Commissioner Miller says: It is yet too early to make any accurate esti mate of the total collection for the cur rent fiscal year. Reports from various collection districts, however, and infor mation from the larger manufacturing centres, together with a large increase in tbe receipts for the present month, as compared with the same month of last year, indicate that the receipts for the year will be considerably increased. Replied, Too Late. it is now stated to be a fact that im mediately after the first vote was taken by precincts, in the democratic men agerie last Salurday, Mr. Jose CMSiano was so well satisfied that the vote had been erroneously announced that he went to the secretary’s table, procured the list of the votes, and, after carefully adding up the vote, pro and con, discov ered the error that had been made and pointed it out to Chairman Cocke, who replied that it was then too late to cor rect it. What surprises every one is, that two errors should be made and both of them should be in favor of the same faction. Surest Tranquilizer of the Nerves. The surest traqullizer of the nerves is a medicine which remedies their supersensltfve ness by Invigorating them. Over-tension of the nerves always weakens them. What they need, then. Is a tonic, not a sedative. The lat ter is only useful when there Is Intense men tal excitement and an immediate necessity exists for producing quietude of the brain, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters restores tranquil- Ity of the nerves by endowing them with the vigor requisite to bear, without leaw jarred or disturbed unhealthfully, the ordinary im pressions produced through the media of sight, hearing and reflection. Nay, it does more than this—it enable them to sustain a degree of tension from mental application which they would be totally unable to endure without its assistance, Such, at least. Is the irresistible conclusion tone drawn from the testimony of business and professional men, lltferatmto, clergymen, and others who have tested the follfylng ami reparative InHucnee of this oeleprated tonic and nervine. 7-21-lw FROM MILWAUKEF The Cream City and its Great Saeugei fest. Prof. Harry K. Guenther, a young musician of Milwaukee who spent last winter anti spring in San Antonio for Ins health,writes a Light reporter a per sonal letter as follows: Milwaukee, July 22, 1886. It affords me great pleasure to write you, that after a pleasant journey and after spending a few days in New Or leans and Chicago, 1 reached my Mil waukee home in safety. I found tbe old Cream city still stand ing at Its old place, but greatly Im proved by numerous handsome and large new edifices. It well deserves the name of Cream city owing lo Its beauty,clean liness and good management. Of San Antonio lean only Impress up on my northern friends the best of opin ion of vour city and its sociable and gen erous inhabitants, among whom 1 have spent a most pleasant winter. Speaking of the Milwaukee Saenger lest, which after years of preparati *n, opens to-day, I can say the following: The weather is perfection, clear and bright with a pleasant, cool breeze. The city has the appearance of one large, handsomely decorated garden, display ing some most beautiful decorations, nu merous grand arches being erected over the streets in al I parts of the city. Different societies beaded by bands of music parade the streets continually, which are thronged with people from all parts of tbe union. Each incoming train increases the number of strangers, which are received at the depots by a commit tee and with music are escorted to their respective headquarters. The city with an estimated number of fifty thousand strangers, presents a very gay and lively appearance. Hotels and boarding houses are all tilled up. Last evening the general rehearsal took place nt the Exposition Imllding, which has been temporarily lifted up for a music hall for the occasion, and very handsomely decorated. The rehearsal was open to the public anti admit tanett of 50 cents charged, (ad mittance to concerts being $2 and $2.50 according to locality of seats.) This rehearsal was well attended, there having been sold somewhat over seven thousand tickets at the door, be sides all those admitted without tickets, or compllmeidaries. Tbe concerts promise to be a rare mu sical Ireal, the main concert being Fri day evening. The solo parts in these concerts are sung bv the following artists: The Misses Lillie Lehmann, Marianne Brand anil Carrie Golds! icher, ai.d Messrs. Jos. Von Witt, Jos. Standigle, Albert I’nulet, Max Heinrich and Joseph Benedick, (of Milwaukee;) Rafael Jo seffy, Pianist; Simon G. Jaeobsobn, Vio linist. Seats for all the concerts are mostly entirely sold out,and the occasion prom- Ises in all to be a grand success. Tlie grand picnic takes place on Sun day at the National Park. A Bargain.

(This story wax commenced July 30.1 ((Jojnirighied. All Rights Reamed.) OF MANY MOODS. BY BOM A. Alter ’runs Kallas to hints It as lie sainiU-rs Ihuae. "atti r all, this is not so had for a Miiiini.-r flirtation, for upon my word! do not think my Lady Disdain is wholly In different to me.” CHArtEK x. “SI rivina to better, oft we inar what', well.” Kina Lear. Saturday is a hot day. blit Sunday is a hot ter one. How haltingly hot is the sun to day. as it shines in blinding tury on the brick walls of the parsonage. All along the white road people are going tochureh. They do not look particularly devout nor very anxious to get there, but the d warm to even buzz: they have dived far down in the hone-suckle flowers, seeking shelter there. About the river banks mid on its limpid waters tired looking Ilies and many unsight ly insects are stalking. The Howers one and all have driaiped their pretty heads and above “The sunbeams flerc-dy beat And tin- silent mils and forest tops seem reeling in the heat." Eleanor has completed her toilet entirely to her own satisfaction, and now turns half sharply to her sister: “Ato you going or not? It is late and Donie is waiting.” Oh. yes, yes,” cries poor Helen rising to her feet with a littie heated sigh. Not for worlds would she be outdone by this "Dolce far nlentc." So Hye minutes later finds them marching along the king's highway. The minister never rides to church. If not a day of rest for him. it is certainly one for Ids’faithful serving little horse. They have reached the church, ami walk slowly with luidied footsteps up the soft carpeted aisle to fake their places in the dark, highlracked pew. Miss Hath well is a good deal stared at to-day, but she does not seeiu to observe it The service wears on: the minister's grave voice reads on with slow monotony. Elea nor falls to thinking what a good man he is as she sits looking at him in the soft church light. A stray sunbeam has crept through the blind, and is resting like a halo on bis silver hair, it must be a blessed thing to be good. She glances around at the scattered con gregation. There are not many: some ear nest, some wholly inditferent All are fan ning. The sermon is well advanced. Daisy lies with her head pillowed in her mother’s lap, sleeping as only children can sleep. Helen is maiding, too. She lias not meant to, but this drowsy stillness is tiai much for her. Most ot the others are following her exam ple. Eleanor is not nodding. She is staring out of the window on to the clovered fields and fair, green pasture lands, about which the cows are wandering. And now the benediction is pronounced, and they tile slowly out. Daisy has been awakened and is sleepily rubbing her blue eyes. On the steps they pause to wait for Mr. Hathwell, and Helen says InquisiAvely: “Who in the world were you looking for in church, Nell? You stared first one way and then the other. Who was it?” “Who should 1 be looking for? retorts the other sharply ;so sharpl. that Helen, with a good deal of sagacity decides that her sister was looking lor some one. But indeed, she might have spared herself the search, for the object of it is at present lying on his back in the coolest spot of the Professor’s lawn, with a brandy and soda at his elbow, and the smoke of a fragrant cigar curling upwards from his lips. They walk slowly homeward, the minister and Helen in front. Eleanor and weary Daisy bringing up the rear. Mrs. Rodney, turning, sees that some one has joined her sister—a young man with an eager, happy face. “I watched you all through church,” he is Saying joyfully. “Did you see me?” “No.” “I thought of throwing tny prayer book at you,” he goes on. “1 coughed most con sumptively, but you would not Imik at me." “I did not even hear you. She is so terribly disappointed. She wishes he would not talk to her so incessantly, but she may as well wish for the sun to stop shining. “How inattentive you were,” staring with glad, eager eyes at her fair, y oung face. “You looked out of the window throughout the entire sermon.” “And what were yon doing?" she returns, rousing herself to something like attention. "You are in a glass house, remember.” He laughs. “Oh, but I Was looking at you,” he says simply. She frowns. This homage bores her, and she does not know what to say. They have reached the gate, and the min ister, turning, sees her companion and wel comes him heartily. “Ah, Mr. Allen, come in and dine with us, won’t you? It’s true we have not much on Sunday, but you will excuse a minister’s little hobby, and my girls will make it up for you with welcomes. Eh, Helen?” “Yes, do stay,” says Mrs. Rodney gra ciously. The young man hesitates and glances at Eleanor. She does not appear to have heard them; she is watching Trico, who is making frantic efforts to break from his chain, and so rush to spring upon her with eager wel comes. “Thank you, sir, 1 believe 1 will,” says Allen. He has not strength to refuse so charming an invitation. So, blissfully unconscious of the frown which darkens his dear lady’s brow, he walks up the path beside her.

it is four o’clock. They have eaten their cold mutton and partaken of small, sweet cakes and sherbet The minister has de parted, Helen has disappeared, and Eleanor and her lover are alone. He has persuaded Her to come out among the great ox-eyed daisies and red clover blos soms, and they are sitting side by side on the old, carved wooden bench. “What do you do with yourself Sunday afternoons?” lie says, as he site then- idly plucking off the petals ot a daisy. “Do you go to church?” “Never.” “What do you do, then?” “Oh,” with a yawn, "I sometimes go to walk and sometimes to sleep. It is the slowest day in the week for me.” He looks a tritle shocked; her candor is somewhat startling. "NodouMiou think me very wicked. I believe 1 have that reputation.” “No. Ido not. You are only—only a little different. "Now with Helen it is different,” she goes on. looking at him with her great, shin ing eyes, "She is fond of church; she never misses. She Is up stairs reading 'Par aillxe DM' now; she reads it every Sunday. And 1. well, I am good utter inj own fash ion. It does not suit many people, but it contents Doide, and that is enough for mo.* She is speaking almost defiantly. Does she think he could find fault with her? The young man does not say a word; he is gazing up at the fleecy, cloud flecked sky. “When are you going hack to—New York, is it not?” says the girl, beginning in her turn to catechise. "1 do not know.” “Have you not finished your business. You have been here soma time; at least it seems a long time to me,” she says, with rather un necessary frankness, "Yes, I have finished, but 1 am in no par ticular hurry to leave.” "By the way, what do you do? What are you—butcher, baker, or candlestick-maker?” breaking off with a short laugh. "Neitherone. lamin a banking bouse. My father died when I was eighteen,” he continues biographically, "and he did not leave me the fortune I hud been brought up to ex|M*ct, but it was a good, tidy sum that did fall to me. 1 am living with my undo, now.” “And your mother?” "She is dead. 1 told you we were not a long-lived family.” "But have you no sister, no brother? Are you all alone?” "1 have a married brother out west, that is all?” “Why. you are even lonelier than 1,” she says, with a little unconscious sigh. He does not answer. I’erlia|is he is wear led of the subject. “Miss Eleanor.” he says, after a pause, “will you go to ride with me to-morrow rdternoon?” She has relapsed into her former indiffer ence. and answers without looking at him. “1 cannot lain going to walk with Mr. Carew.” Even as she s|ieaks his name a happy Hush mantles all her soft, round cheek. He notes it indignantly. A frown darkens his brow as he asks, half sneeringly, “Who is this Mr. Carew? Where did he come from, anyhow?” “He is a gentleman and my friend,” cries Eleanor. “Is not that sufficient?'’ “To you [icrhaps,” returns the other sul lenly. "1 much confess lam as much in the dark as ever.” "1 do not see why you should be.” "He is evidently well advanced In your good graces,” he says, feeling unaccountably jealous. "1 do like him very well,” speaking reso lutely, half defiantly, "Tell me,” he cries, stung to the quick by her words, “tell me, which do you like best he or 1?” Dead silence, save for the steady whirr, whin'of the locusts, "Answer me. which is it. he or I?” “Since you ask me point blank. Mr. Al len,” speaking indifferently, “1 will tell you. I like Mr. Carew infinitely lietter than 1 do you.” “Y on do, do you,” he cries, all his hopes dashed to the ground by her cold, truthful words. “Then let me tell you he is an un principled flirt. There is no good in him.” "At least,” she cries angrily, “at least he is too much of a gentleman, to slander an other man behind his back, and let me tell you, once for all, I do not believe anything but good of Dallas Carew.” She has risen to her feet, two angry car nation spots burning in either cheek. Her voice is not loud, but it is raised to its high est pitch, and every word comes with clear distinctness to where Dallas Carew stands, with his hand upon the garden gate prepar atory to entering. He limps the latch, how ever. and turns slowly homeward, with a half troubled, half triumphant, expression on his face. And the girl, all unconscious of his pres ence, with her usual disregard for manners, leaves the young man and walks indignant ly away. And what is there for him to do but go.” CHAPTER XI. "Drawn in the flattering tablet of her eye Hanged in the frowning wrinkles of her brow, And quartered in her licnrt 1 He doth espy Himself lor-e's traitor." King John. “Have you known Mr. Carew long?” asks Helen. “Never met him before,” replies her com panion. It is Joe Allen who is speaking. Yes, he has eaten his words, and after many pleasing speis-lies has been received back into favor. But it is not Eleanor’s feet nt which he is lying; for the matter of that be is lying at nobialy’s feet, but is sitting tolerably up right in a cane chair by Mrs. Rodney. Elea nor is up stairs: she lias excused herself on the plea that it is time to get ready for her walk—that innocent walk which has caused so much discord. But she has not begun to dress; she is sitting in the low window-sill singing—not loudly—none but the butterflies and honeysuckles can hear her song. She is singing for her own gratification. At Helen's question her song ceases abruptly, and she listens for the reply. “Did you tell him how sorry we were to miss him yesterday?” "Oh, y es.” “What did he say?” “Nothing—‘sighed and looked unutterable things,’ returns the other, with a smile at his own quickness, but Helen does not even know that he is quoting. "He is rather given to that sort of thing, isn't lie?” she goes on inquisitively. “1 am sure 1 don't kuow,” answers Allen, rather bored. What need for Eleanor hi listen any longer? She has clasped her hand about her head ami the song goes on: “Sceptre and crown Must fumble down—" She warbles in a happy jovial voice, with no feeling of compunction at this dread fate which must sooner or later overtake mon archs—monarchs who must lay down their coveted power unto a greater King than they. But no such thoughts occur to Elea nor Hathwell as she sits here in the broad window-sill, the possession of which the honeysuckles are disputing with her, sitting here singing her old time ditty; singing like the birds from the mere gladness of her heart, glad to be living in this fair, green earth which God has given us. The gate clicks noisily and a tall, a very tall young man cohies with rapid strides across the lawn. He does not even see Helen and her companion, who, screened by the thick vines, are silently watching him. He has lifted his eyes and caught sight of the girl in her bright dress and sunlit hair. He conies quickly under her window, stands there bare-headed, while the sun lights up and lingers caressingly upon his close-cut red-brown hair. She has not turned away with mock indifference; she is leaning out and her face wears a glad, happy smile. "Not ready?” says the young man re proachfully, “and it Is past five now.” “But It Is so warm to dress,” she returns, “Do you—” speaking rather doubtfully, “do you think I might come as I am?” "Of course. Why should you not?” “Well, then in one moment 1 will be with you.” So she does not remove the plain gown, over which many summers have passed, but she ties a large, coquettish hat over her sunny hair, and with a glance at her own re flection joins him. “What a guy you do look,” Helen says sharply, as she passes; but the girl pays no heed. Dallas Carew finds a strange, uneasy pleasure ill strolling along with this girl on this warm afternoon. He half wonders at It. He feels so thoroughly content And why should he? He frowns heavily at the [TV M Okmtfawd New Advertisements. WM. NEUMANN. GEO. ICKE. Neumann Icke, Wholesale and retail deMiers in DRY GOODS AND GROCERIES.

OVER-RE ACHED HIMSE How a Kendall County Granger Swore He Wouldn't, But Did. One of the gentlemen prominently in terested Io the northwestern railway ex tension of the Sun Antonio and Aransas Pass found himself recently in the com pany ot a commission man of this city and a granger, the latter a stranger. No introductions were given. Conver sation turned on the proposed extension and the routes to be taken. Lho merits of the Kerrville and the Fredericksburg surveys were discussed pro and con. the reports of the engineers cited, the feasi bility of crossing a certain divide dwelt upon, and the conclusion reached that the lowest and most available level was one already designated by the engineer of the surveying corps. At this junc ture the granger quietly remarked that this conclusion was a mistake. I'he en gineer had not found the route that was most feasible. He. Mr. Granger, was well acquainted with the whole lay of the lino, tbat the route to Fredericks burg was more direct than to Kerrville and that there was one way that be knew of th.it was far superior to any yet proposed, but that he would not divulge it as it would damage him very much if the railway ran over that route. Ills reasons were, he said, that the route was through his own f rm. anil lie did not propose to have any railway cutting across the best por tions ot his land. Conversation drifted in to other channels and the trloseparated. Next day the commission man was bel li,ed land putting his ear to the tele phone got this message: “By the way l om, wliat was the name of that Gran ger from Kendall county I met with you yesterday I'he response came by due word of mouth and with the reply, thanks! so long! the connection was rang off. An hour later a letter was mailed to the surveying corps of the Northwestern extension to proceed to Mr Granger's farm, take a route up a certain valley and they would linil a much lower level and me more practi cable upon which to cross the divide than any yet struck. Some morning in the very near future that wise granger will wake up and tint) that surveying corps running a line along the iil> nli' al level upon a bich,under no com-idvrni ion Was he willingto have th" road located, lie a ill be a surprised man and a mad one; the cbaracu rof nis expletives will depend very much upon what church he belongs to The information secured Is valuable ill the same.

Tbe relation that shall exist between the sexes—between men anti women, is a question of vita! importance to the peace and welfare of nations. I* emale Virtue is the best basis of both private amt public welfare.since in every nation and age In which th" women have been dissolute in manners and lewd In their habits, the taint has extended Itself to private and public morals—and society has become rotten at the core. Courage and manhood with their train of attend ant qualities, cannot exist in robust health in a nation where female chas tity Is the exception and not the rule. Hence, it behooves the legislator, the seatesmnn, the phUantbropist and the Christian, to foster, encourage and sup port female chastity. I’olygam.y or a plurality of wives, is fatal to the best qualities of woman and dwarfs her entire nature. It makes woman either the play thing, or the slave of man -and it destroys tbe domes tic affections that invest the home with such sanctity and eace as to make it a heaven on earth. The best relation that can exist be tween tbe sexes Is that of husband and wife, the marriage of one man and one woman. This is a partnership of which the children reap the benefit in nurture, maintenance and education. It can be dissolved and annulled by the decree of tbe law only, and when the bonds of marriage are thus annulled, provision is made for the support of the wife and children. Concubinage Is cohabitation during the pleasure of the parties. It is a tem porary partnership, and nothing more. Either tbe man or tbe woman may dis solve it at their pleasure and enter into a state of concubinage with some other party. I'his circumstance throwsaround concubinage such uncertainty, such ap prehension ami dread as to effectually destroy all real bappiness. Distrust tills the place in their hearts that Nature in tended that confidence should oc cupy. In concubinage, neither the man nor Ilie woman feel any confidence In the loyalty of the other, from the fact that they are aware tiiat tile one party has no legal claim and hold upon Ilie other, and is at perfect liberty to follow his or her inclinations. It goes without saying that such a frail and tem porary connection, as Is that of concu binage, is at war with genuine happi ness, as well as destitute of every en nobling tendency. It is a notorious fact, attested by the experience of daily life, that the father of children that have been the fruits of concubinage seldom shows any real affections for them— rarely makes any adequate provision for their support and education, manifests no desire for their society, and takes no pains to train them to correct moral habits. So far from it that they are ashamed of them and anxious to disown them before tbe world. They seldom legitimate them, as they might do by marrying their mothers. A bastard has no legal claim on his or her father, not even the right to bear his name, and the fathers of bas tards most generally avail them selves of this legal exemption from duty to such children. Concubin age casts upon the mother the burden of rearing and supporting the children, and. when the father abandons both ttie mother and children, the mother has no resource left eave to become the mistress or concubine of another man, who feels neither respect nor love for her. Concubinage has an injurious and de basing effect upon the heart, mind and manners of women. It is infinitely more injurious to woman than to man. A woman who has been the mistress of half a dozen men in succession,is no bet ter than a prostitute in the open market and is compelled to have lost in this career of vice, and in this contact with men that neither loved nor respected her ail the best traits and qualities of her nature, and has become a creature of simulation and dissimulation, of cun ning and artfulness. Even while the concubine of one man, the knowledge of the fact that he will probably forsake her for a prettier woman leads her to endeavor to have another ready 4o take his place, when he does abandon her to poverty and neglect. Naturally, woman is not selfish and mer cenary, blit the inevitable effect of con cubinage is to render her scheming and mercenary. But the lot of bastard children is not at all enviable. Repudi ated, disowned and neglected by their fathers, they are dependent upon their mothers, whose sole resource is in be coming the concubine of a new man as often as hla predecessor deserts her. The children of a lewd woman are born into the world under many disadvan tages. The reputation of their mothers reacts upon them—in one word, the sins of their mothers are visited upon them with terrible effect. The law should foster and encourage marriage ami discourage concubinage. How is this object to be accomplished? When n single man and woman have lived together and cohabited for the space of 12 months, the law should treat them as though they had been lawfully married, and give to the woman all the legal rights of a wife, and disable either party from contracting marriage unless after being divorced, riuch a law would prove a death blow to concubinage, since men would prefer marriage. It would be followed by a great de crease in the number of bastards born annually—ln itself a material gain to the community. And it would be also followed by a marked decrease in the number of public prostitutes. In nine cases out of ten, prostitutes begin as the concubines of men, and after passing from tbe possession of one man to an other until their hearts and minds have become corrupted and debased and their personal charms have become stale, they enter bawdy houses by the law of gravi tation. Concubinage is but a nursery and preparatory school for tbe brothel' Where a married man cohabits witli a single woman for a year, the law should render any child born by her. an heir to the estate of such father and compel him to settle property upon it. Ton iv. Their Decision. The committee of five selected Mon day evening to file tbe protest to the late convention before tbe democratic exec utive committee,reported last night that they had duly presented the protest and that the executive committee had an swered that they had no jurisdiction in the matter, inasmuch as tlie dissatisfied ones ratified the action of the conven tion by voting to make the nomination of Gen.

They spmlily become perceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is used by the invalid. Nothing so surely ami cx|Hslltiously consumes the distance to the desired goal.
